The total funding is £21,410.
Review of Impact for 2018-2019
1. Develop NQT CPD through the focused PECS programme. Each NQT staff member will have a dedicated session every Friday for the entire year.
Some of our sports premium has been used to fund PECS training for each NQT staff member in school this year. PECS (PE Curriculum Support programme) has been provided by our selected sports provider, to increase skill and confidence specific to each teacher’s own needs. The funding allowed for the mentors to be in school with us each Friday afternoon. Two NQT teachers have worked alongside the PECS mentors for the entire year, covering a range of training and development opportunities including demonstrating and teaching good practice, employing proven planning and assessment methods, and coaching specific skills that teachers may not feel as confident in teaching. After each unit of PECS, teachers are asked to review the impact of their mentoring.
2. Enable a wide provision of after-school sports clubs to be offered and continue participation in a range of inter-school competitions.
The Sports Premium has also been used to fund even more clubs this year, as well to provide cover to enable teachers to run sports-based clubs and tournaments for the pupils. Through the funding, children have had the opportunity to access a range of sports clubs after school every day this year.
Our sports clubs (provided by Planet Education and school staff) have included: KS1 Multi-skills, KS2 Capture the Flag, KS1 Gym, KS2 Dodgeball, KS2 Girls’ Football, Year 5/6 Boys’ Football, Year 5/6 JRock, Year 5/6 Hockey, KS1 Dodgeball, Year 4/5/6 Netball, Year 3/4 Tri-Golf, KS2 Athletics, Year 3/4 Tag Rugby, KS2 Strictly Come Dancing, KS1 Racket Skills, Year 5/6 Tag Rugby, KS1 Athletics, KS1 Cricket, KS2 Cricket, KS2 Tennis, Year 5/6 Rounders. Clearly, there has been a lot of opportunities of offer to both KS1 and KS2 and many of the clubs have run multiple times.
Percentage of children who attended at least 1 sports after-school club in Autumn term = 33%. Percentage of children who attended at least 1 sports after-school club in Spring term = 35%. Percentage of children who attended at least 1 sports after-school club in Summer term = 32%.
This year, the school has taken part in a variety of competitions again including Athletics, Hockey, Netball, Rounders, Tag Rugby, Tri-Golf, Boys’ Football and Girls’ Football. Our most successful tournament was Hockey which our A and B teams went to every month and finished third out of twenty schools. We also have 2 boys who have been selected to attend trials for the Basingstoke District Under-11 Football team aiming to follow on from the successes of one of our pupils from last year.
3. Increase lunch time sports provision.
Our Sports Premium Funding has also been used to fund lunchtime clubs provided by Planet Education each day. This has included a range of sports both on the playground and on the field aimed at either Key Stage 1 or 2.
Percentage of children who attended at least 1 sports lunch time club = 64%.
This the second year lunch time clubs have been running and the impact has been incredibly positive. Children have commented on their keenness to attend, their enjoyment for the range of activities provided and how it lowers any anxieties of having nobody to play with.
4. Raise attainment in primary school swimming to meet requirements of the national curriculum before the end of key stage 2.
Using the sports premium funding, all 90 children in our current Year 6 cohort were able to attend swimming lessons in Year 4. Out of these 90, 71 children successfully met the requirements. The premium was therefore also used to provide additional top-up swimming lessons to the 19 pupils who were not able to meet the national curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety after the delivery of core swimming and water safety lessons. By the end of these top up lessons, a further 14 children successfully passed.
Overall 85/90 children met the swimming requirement = 94%.
The Sports Premium funding has also been used to buy new much-needed equipment vital for PE lessons as well as resources for our Sports Day which involved all children in much more activity.
We have well spent above our allocation of Sports Premium money to ensure PE provision meets its full potential.
